How many of us would want to promote NAMBLA if they used CF for their site? NAMBLA, in case you're not aware, stands for "North American Man-Boy Love Association" and they promote sexual relations between men and underage boys...
Don't know if they use CF or not, (not going to visit to find out, either), but I would put my company on any list that they shared. And... if so few sites would make the list anyway, why take the chance that this could backfire?

I'd be willing to wager that the number of "adult" related sites would be such a ridiculously minimal percentage of the overall list that it wouldn't send the message "ColdFusion is for porn". Let's say 5% of the sites on the list are adult industry related (a guess based on nothing in particular). Do you really think that somebody who is contemplating using CF is going to turn around and say, "oh no... there are porn sites built with CF. i don't want my business associated with that and therefore choose not to use CF"? If that were the case, they'd also say, "oh no...there are porn sites on the Web. I don't want my business associated with that and therefore choose not to have a web presence." If you (we) start judging which sites are "acceptable" to convey a particular message, things are just going to get ugly. .....and FWIW, while I don't want to sound unappreciative of the efforts going into this site... wouldn't this thread be better suited to cf-community since it's really not technical in nature? :) -- Charlie Griefer ================================================ "...All the world shall be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.
